For days when I’m craving a sweet treat to start the day, I turn to this simple iced caramel latte. It’s inspired by one of my go-to drinks at Starbucks, this caramel latte is a budget-friendly homemade version.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s so easy to make. I usually start my espresso while I juggle other things (like making my air fryer hard boiled eggs or scrambled eggs), and it only takes me seconds to finish it off.
- You only need a couple of ingredients plus some ice to make a caramel latte. It’s definitely more budget-friendly than visiting SB daily.
- Make this into a warm caramel latte by skipping the ice and heating up the milk! It’s such a simple recipe that you can enjoy two ways.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- espresso — I use vanilla Nespresso pods, but you can brew a strong coffee or use instant espresso.
- caramel sauce — I always have a bottle of Torani caramel sauce on hand.
- vanilla syrup — I use Torani vanilla syrup, but you can also use vanilla bean syrup! I’ve made it with both. For more caramel flavoring, you can use caramel simple syrup.
- milk — you can use regular milk or dairy-free milk. Feel free to froth if you like.
- ice — you’ll need some ice cubes to make an iced latte!
How to Make an Iced Caramel Latte
- Prepare your coffee. I use a coffee maker. Froth your milk if you’d like.
- To a glass or mug, drizzle the caramel sauce inside the glass and add the vanilla syrup.
- Add the brewed coffee to the glass. Add ice.
- Top off the coffee with milk, stir and enjoy. You can add additional caramel sauce over frothed milk if you’d like.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Instead of ice, freeze extra coffee in an ice tray and use it in the latte to avoid it getting watered down! I do this with my matcha often to keep my matcha latte from being watery!
- Make this stronger by using less milk and increasing the espresso.
- Top the iced caramel latte with some whipped cream to make the drink even more of a sweet treat.
Can I make this decaf?
You sure can! Simply use decaf coffee.
